To design, set up, test and document the setup, document and test the
backup and restore procedures, and provide initial training on any
manual processes.

There is nothing magical about any of it. You can certainly work it out
yourself.

PS I suggest cycling through at least three drives; more if you can
afford them. You may be able to use smaller drives, you will have more
versions, and you will have more protection against drive failures.

PPS: Your *normal* max is the period between rotations, but your worst
case max (short of total loss of all drives) is number-of-disks x
period of rotation. If you have three drives and you backup every three
days, then you will find out after nine days at the earliest that your
oldest backup drive has failed. Or if the other two fail when you try a
restore, your only backup is nine days old.

Regards, K.
